I made some last week and it was great, but . . . err, I guess the recipe was really for two loaves and I stuffed it into one. So the resulting explosion was good, but UGLY. (Let's just say it was the second time in a week that I set off the smoke detectors.)
I told my husband about it and he told me about a friend of his at work that brought in his wife's zucchini bread. And Chris went on and on and ON about it. Okay, I said, get me the recipe. So here you go, this is Mrs. Sparks' Zucchini Bread. And oh, it is DIVINE.
3 eggs
1 cup oil
2 1/2 cups sugar (I know, I thought this was a lot, but it gives the bread a sweet and crunch crust)
2 cup grated zucchini
1 tsp vanilla
3 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
3 1/2 tsp cinnamon
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 cup nuts (optional)
Oil the pan and place wax paper on bottom only. (I just buttered the pans).
Bake at 350 for 45 min to 1 hr. (This made two loaves and it took 80 minutes).
Thanks Mrs. Sparks!

oh my god, that is alot of butter!
Shut it. I DID say slathered. Butter is it's own food group, isn't it?
This looks delicious. I am sure your home smelled wonderful for this batch as well as 'quiet'...love those smoke detectors!
Oh my Allison... that looks DIVINE! I am a bread girl too, and would love nothing more than to sit and have a slice and a cuppa with you!
Oh Allison!! This looks absolutley yummy. I have not made zucchini bread in so long. You're inspiring me. Can I add a little chocolate to it? ;)
Just getting around to visiting everyone. I'm so glad you're back into the swing of blogging. :)
Lots of hugs!
Michelle and the kitties :)
And I just got two insanely huge zucchini at the farmer's market so i could make some z bread. sweet.
Thanks! I love from-scratch quick bread recipes because it is super simple to convert them into gluten free. I just sub in my favorite baking mix for the flour. I'll have to try this one soon.
